Hypnotherapy for Insomnia
Are you are unable to sleep throughout the night, or are you
having difficulty staying asleep? Then you may be suffering from insomnia
(sleeplessness) and you can claim the title of ‘insomniac’!
There are many causes of insomnia, including stress,
depression, alcohol, caffeine, a change in daily routine or even a lack of
change! Other causes can be emotional or physical pain, or grief. And it’s
possible that you have a cause I haven’t mentioned.
It is not a unique problem, but the way you
experience it is unique!
Are you running an ongoing commentary in your mind of the
previous day’s events, or reliving stresses and traumas from your past? Are
you having trouble getting your mind to shut off? Are you worried about that
important presentation/meeting tomorrow? Maybe you feel restless and full of
energy and can only doze off just as the sun is rising. Do you fall asleep for
an hour or two then wake in the middle of the night, all charged up and ready to
go?
Whatever it is, you probably feel exhausted and irritable
in the morning and the throughout the day. Your nerve endings are raw, and you
are unable to cope with the simplest of tasks.
Insomnia lowers your mental capabilities and physical
stamina. The desperate need for a good night’s sleep becomes unbearable. You
start to feel apprehensive when going to bed. You keep thinking that you
haven’t slept for so many [insert the number here] nights, and tonight,
surely, you will get some sleep…
You are not greedy – just 4 hours of undisturbed sleep
would be nice; 6 would be heaven!
There are many treatments for insomnia, including
medication such as sleeping aids, altering established sleeping habits, Ayurveda,
herbal medicine, yoga, aromatherapy, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine,
and Feng Shui.
And let’s not forget the all time favourites: warm milk
and counting sheep!
But the therapy most successful in bringing immediate
results in treating insomnia in the shortest possible time is Hypnotherapy!
Insomnia is one of the ways your body and mind lets you
know that something isn’t right. The way for you to correct this is to go deep
into your subconscious and get the right answers. Only you know what those
answers are, and only through hypnosis can you get to them.
After using techniques called ‘Progressive Body
Relaxation’ and ‘Imagery’ – where you imagine yourself in your favourite
place to relax - your subconscious is ready to do some exploring and find those
important answers.
When you know the cause, you can start dealing with it.
Again, this is achievable through hypnosis and the solutions are implemented
straight into your subconscious.
There is no ‘trial and error’ when you work with your
subconscious – when it’s done, it’s done! The only side effect you may
experience while you are in hypnosis is ...you may fall asleep! Experienced
Hypnotherapists will recognise this immediately and bring you back to a lighter
hypnotic state, so you can continue with the work at hand.
Techniques of self-hypnosis are also taught, so you can
practise at home and continue to strengthen what you have achieved during your
Hypnotherapy sessions.
So, Good Night and Sweet Dreams!
